Election Fever Poem by Noel Tupan

There’s a fever approaching,
but some people are rejoicing,
they are now full of vim,
a chance to get what they aim.

Dynasties will come to rise again,
people watch of what will happen,
old and new antics will come into play,
as politicians will engage in mud slay.

Others will join the game,
waving their banner of fame,
new faces will try their fate,
for in this game there is wealth.

Each mouth will utter promises,
the crowd will make some wishes,
will hope that it would be fulfilled,
and words will not scatter in the open field.

Let us be watchful of those tainted mind,
there’s an agenda they'll try to hide,
let us be vigilant of the occurrence,
there lies the future of our children.
